A Fall Weekend

As usual, the weekends go by too fast!

Levi and I kicked off the weekend with date night Friday night. Since I had my big 4 mile race in the morning, I decided to splurge on Next Door Pizza (thin curst Fire Bug- yummo!) and a beer. 


Saturday morning was the KC 4 mile Zoo Run for the Penguins. The morning started out a bit chilly, but that's not a bad thing once you start running. 


(Not sure why he wanted to eat my bottle for a pic)


My sister, Yvonne was my running buddy. She's a trooper because I know I run much slower than she does, but she stayed by my side the whole 4 miles. 


Since she ran way slower than usual, she had all kinds of energy to run ahead of me and take pictures. :)

After the race I took Aria to meet a couple friends at the pumpkin patch. Aria liked seeing her friend Katelynn from church and Oliver, her buddy from daycare.



We picked out a pumpkin,






then went on a hayrack ride. (Yes, if you're from Hutchinson, KS it's referred to as a "hayrack ride "instead of just simply "hayride". 





It's just not a typical Gilmore Sunday without church, Chiefs and chili.

Aria got a lot of compliments at church today. Everyone wanted to get their hands on her and comment on her beautiful, big, blue eyes. It never gets old!

We love when she sleeps through the sermon too.



In other news, Aria has three teeth now. Two on the bottom and one on top. We're thinking she's working on cutting some more because once we got home from church today, she was pretty fussy all afternoon. That's not typical for Aria.

With lots of cuddles, she seemed to be OK.

I also thought about getting out the Halloween decorations, but I decided I just don't have the time  motivation to put it all up then take it all down again in a few weeks.

But I can decorate the baby!



Have a great evening, folks and GO CHIEFS!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
